Chapter 682: You sure?
Dong Xuebing kept yawning as he sat on the sofa to watch TV with Geng Yuehua.
Five minutes passed.
Dong Xuebing tried to strike a conversation. “Oh, the City news is reporting on our district.”
“Yes.”
“It is about the Japanese delegation.”
“Yes.”
“Err…. How was it? Did we get any investments?”
“Yes.”
“Oh, that’s great.”
Dong Xuebing tried to chat with Geng Yuehua, but she just gave one-word replies. He looks at the clock on the wall. It’s way past 1 am. He wonders if he had guessed her intentions correctly. After all, it’s hard to know what she thinks as she doesn’t show any emotions on her face.
The apartment becomes quiet again.
Geng Yuehua crossed her legs and continued to watch TV.
Dong Xuebing wonders if her TV had broken down and she had missed last night’s news. That’s why she is here to watch it.
But her dressing… the timing of her visit….
Dong Xuebing glanced at her legs and voluptuous body and no longer felt sleepy. She is too hot in this dress.
The news ended, and the channel became a blue screen, indicating no more programs.
Dong Xuebing looks at Geng Yuehua and asks. “Mayor Geng, you….”
Geng Yuehua did not move. “Switch to another channel.”
“Err…. What do you want to watch?”
“…… anything.”
“Ok…. Let me see.”
“Stop. The channel before this.”
“Ok. This? Science channel?”
“Yes.”
Dong Xuebing puts down the remote. This channel is also showing re-runs of their old programs, but Geng Yuehua watches it attentively. It’s the same as how she is focused at work.
Seriously? Are you here to watch TV?
Geng Yuehua is focused on the TV.
Didn’t you say you are here to return my clothes? Why are you not leaving after returning them?
Dong Xuebing could not stand it anymore. He rubbed his palms and felt uneasy. He wants to do something but is scared he has gotten the wrong idea.
“Mayor Geng.” Dong Xuebing said. “Err…. Should I switch off the lights? It’s too bright, and it’s not good for our eyes.”
Geng Yuehua kept quiet.
Dong Xuebing asked again. “Ok?”
“This is your house. Why are you asking me?” Geng Yuehua replied coldly.
Dong Xuebing is speechless again. “Then I will switch it off.” He saw Geng Yuehua ignoring him again and went over to the switch to switch off the lights.
The living room becomes dark again with some dim lights from the TV.
Geng Yuehua doesn’t seem to be mad and is still watching TV.
Dong Xuebing is relieved and feels more confident. “Do you still want tea? I can add hot water to it.”
Geng Yuehua nodded without looking at him.
Dong Xuebing poured hot water into her cup and placed it on the coffee table. “Careful, it’s hot.”
“Ok.”
Dong Xuebing walked over and sat beside Geng Yuehua. This time, he purposely sits close to her, with his legs touching her.
Geng Yuehua frowned.
Dong Xuebing is sitting closer to Geng Yuehua, and he can smell the shampoo scent from her hair. Her body also has the fragrance of shower gel.
She bathed in the middle of the night and changed into these clothes?!
Dong Xuebing got bolder and placed his hand on Geng Yuehua’s thigh.
Geng Yuehua frowned and looked at him. “What are you doing?”
Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. “I want to see if the wound on your leg is healing well.” He said and started moving his hand. “Did it leave a scar?”
Geng Yuehua coldly replies. “It’s none of your business.”
“It was my fault. If I had paid more attention to the road, it would not break down, and you will not go into the forest.”
Geng Yuehua ignored him and continued watching TV.
Dong Xuebing saw her ignoring him and pushed the dress helm upwards slightly, exposing most of her thighs. He can see the silky material of her black stockings from the light emitting from the TV. This is so hot. He slowly reached under her skirt and touched the area where the snake bit her. He used his finger to stroke that area light.
The wound seems to have healed.
Geng Yuehua’s body became stiff when Dong Xuebing touched her inner thighs. She took a deep breath but did not say anything.
Dong Xuebing saw Geng Yuehua did not scold or stop him. He grabbed her left leg and placed it on his lap to stroke her leg.
Geng Yuehua brushed her hair with her fingers and took a deep breath.
Dong Xuebing continues to push her dress up and massages her thighs through her stockings.
A while later, Geng Yuehua suddenly pulled back her leg from Dong Xuebing and sat there without saying anything.
Dong Xuebing thinks Geng Yuehua is mad and starts to panic.
What exactly do you want? At least, say something.
Dong Xuebing felt guessing her intentions was not the solution. He said. “Watch TV by yourself first. I will take a shower.”
Geng Yuehua sat there without moving.
Dong Xuebing went to the bathroom and started showering. He doesn’t want to guess Geng Yuehua’s intentions anymore. He felt she might be deliberating like him. That’s why he decided to take a shower. This is a strong signal of what he wants. If she is still around when he finishes his shower, that means she is fine with it. She will leave if she doesn’t want to carry on this relationship.
Dong Xuebing even washed his hair. He was too tired when he got back and did not bathe. His bathing speed was not as fast as Geng Yuehua\'s and took around ten minutes. He shaved and dried his hair. He wrapped himself in a towel and walked out nervously.
The bathroom door opens.
The TV is still on, but there is no one around.
Dong Xuebing slapped his forehead as he regretted not taking the initiative earlier. Are you stupid? You should carry on instead of taking a shower. You are an idiot!
Dong Xuebing switched off the TV and lit a cigarette on the sofa.
Dong Xuebing snubbed the cigarette a few minutes later and stopped thinking about it.
Dong Xuebing yawned and walked back to his bedroom.
But Dong Xuebing got shocked when he opened the door. A red-figure is in his room.
It’s Geng Yuehua! She is reading a newspaper in the bedroom.
Dong Xuebing was stunned. “Mayor Geng…. You… are still around?”
The bedside lamp is switched on, and Geng Yuehua sits on the bed. She ignored Dong Xuebing and continued reading the papers.
Ha! You are in my room. I was still reflecting on myself in the living room.
Dong Xuebing was excited, but his self-reflection earlier calmed him down. He remembered Xie Huilan, Qu Yunxuan, and Yu Meixia. He felt there was a need to tell Geng Yuehua.
“Err…. I have something to tell you.” Dong Xuebing stood by the door.
Geng Yuehua continues to read the papers.
Dong Xuebing continued. “Err…. I have a girlfriend, and we will be getting married at the end of this year or early next year. I don’t want to lie to you. I….”
Geng Yuehua glanced at Dong Xuebing with a frown and read her papers.
Dong Xuebing stood there wondering what does Geng Yuehua mean?
Dong Xuebing only wants to tell the truth to Geng Yuehua. He is prepared for her to leave or beat him up. But she continues to sit on his bed with no reaction.
Both remain quiet for a few minutes.
Dong Xuebing felt he had given Geng Yuehua enough time to think it through. He closed the door and got on the bed. He hugged her from her back and asked. “Are you sure?”
Geng Yuehua paused for a second and threw the newspaper on the bedside table. She smoothed her hair and took out her hairclip.
Her long hair flows down like a waterfall.
